Example A: One-Factor Authentication
The examples provided here apply to both iCLASS and MIFARE cards/readers.
A user who needs to log-on to Windows XP: The Username is Admin, and the Password is
UserPassword.
This user typically types (in terms of keystrokes):
GUI-L
(first lock the machine to prevent viewing of the credentials if the PC is unlocked)
Alt-U
(gets the cursor into the Username field)
Admin
{TAB}
(key labeled ‘Tab’ on keyboard)
UserPassword
{ENTER}
(key labeled ‘Enter’ on keyboard)
The concept is to get the 1st three lines into Credential 1, and the last two lines onto Credential 2.
Credential 1
To get the GUI-L keystroke sequence in the first ‘Pre-Keystroke’ field the cursor needs to be placed
in this field. Next, the section labeled ‘Add Special Keystrokes’ will be used to create the ‘GUI-L’
keystroke. Check the checkbox labeled GUI (i.e. the GUI or Windows key from a standard keyboard),
and choose the letter ‘L’ from the pull-own box. These two selections will together perform the
‘GUI-L’ keystroke – i.e. holding down the GUI key while pressing the ‘L’ key on the keyboard. Pressing
the ‘Add Special’ button in this section once will deliver the proper hex keystroke code information
to the ‘Pre keystroke’ field. You will be able to see the ‘%F80’ entry into this field. You can easily start
over by selecting (removing) the ‘%F80’, and using the Delete key to remove it.
Similarly, the Alt-U keystroke sequence is the second ‘Pre-Keystroke’ item to go into this field. The
cursor should already be in this field. To create the ‘Alt-u’ keystroke, check the checkbox labeled ‘Alt’
(i.e. the Alt key from a standard keyboard), and choose the letter ‘u’ from the pull-own box. These
two selections will together perform the Alt-u keystroke – i.e. holding down the Alt key while pressing
the ‘u’ key on the keyboard. Pressing the ‘Add Special’ button in this section once will deliver the
proper hex keystroke code information to the ‘Pre keystroke’ field. You should see the following:
